Free Online PDF Tools
Merge, split, and convert PDF files. 100% free, secure, and processed entirely in your browser with no uploads.
What is PDFey?
PDFey is a collection of 13 free PDF tools that run entirely in your web browser. Need to merge contracts? Split a report into chapters? Compress a file that's too big for email? Just drop your PDF in, and the tool does the rest — right on your device. No file ever gets uploaded anywhere. The PDF standard (ISO 32000) can be complex, but using these tools shouldn't be. That's the idea behind PDFey: desktop-level privacy with the convenience of a web app.
Why use PDFey over other tools?
No upload wait time
A 50 MB PDF can take minutes to upload on a typical connection. With PDFey, there's nothing to upload. You select the file, your browser reads it, and processing starts immediately. Large merges finish in seconds because the bottleneck — network transfer — simply doesn't exist.
Actually free
No "3 free uses per day" limits. No watermarks slapped on your output. No premium upsell hiding the features you actually need. Every tool works the same way whether it's your first visit or your hundredth. You don't even need to create an account.
13 tools, one place
Merging, splitting, compressing, converting, password-protecting, watermarking, metadata editing, page rotation, deletion, reordering — and more. Instead of bookmarking five different websites for different PDF tasks, you get everything here. Each tool is focused on doing one thing well.
How it works
Three steps. No accounts, no installations, no waiting for server responses.
Pick a tool
Choose from the grid above. Merge, split, compress, convert — whatever you need. Each tool has its own page with clear instructions.
Drop your file
Drag and drop your PDF (or click to browse). The file loads into your browser memory — nothing goes to any server. You'll see a preview so you know you've got the right document.
Get your result
Adjust settings if needed, hit the button, and your processed PDF is ready to download. Takes seconds, not minutes.
How your files stay private
Everything runs in your browser
PDFey works differently from tools like iLovePDF or SmallPDF. When you select a file, your browser loads it into memory and processes it using JavaScript — the same technology that powers Google Docs or Figma. No server ever touches your data.
Here's what that means in practice: there's no server to hack, no database storing your files, and no third-party employee who could access your documents. When you close the tab, your file is gone from memory. We don't keep logs of what you processed.
This makes PDFey a solid choice for confidential documents — legal contracts, financial records, HR files, medical paperwork. You get the speed and ease of an online tool without giving up the privacy of working locally. Read more about our approach in our privacy policy.
